AMEN!

 We want
   the Internet to be useful for communities that share our commitment
   to openness and fairness.

But the IETF is not open to opinions which vary from its core stated
opinion, and that is constrained by the people speaking for the IETF as
a whole.

What about its legendary "rough consensus"? If I trust what the IETF says about itself --as we all should-- it /is/ open to varying opinions. I'm talking of RFCs, not specific arrangements for IETF 79.

Its one of the key flaws in giving a technologist a voice beyond being a technologist.

Yup, the political relevance of technology has been debated since ancient Greece, and before.

As to fairness BULL SH*T. The IETF is anything but fair or open in form.

If it is not, then that's a defect that we (Internet users) should actively amend. Note that the same is true for the Chinese government w.r.t. its people. The difference is that the Internet is "one of the greatest political forces in history", in your own words [1].
